It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The fact that they literally think that me critiquing their language got them to question if I were either a "transphobe or ally" is very questionable. I'm literally a transfeminine (AMAB) enby myself. Nothing of what I said was trans exclusionary. The statement "Some AFABs are men" is literally very trans inclusive. Separating AFABs and men as two mutually exclusive groups, however, isn't trans inclusive. It's clearly a pretentious and performative attempt at inclusion because that's functionally no different than typical TERF-drivel.

well no, but actually kinda. Judging by later replies I dont think they are actually confused as to what AFAB means. But implicitly they are acting like AGAB is an intrinsic trait, and basically the more true one in terms of "shared experiences". its like theyre trying to draw a distinction between sex and gender and say that sex is essential/unchngeable but refuse to use common language for it
